The offices where the people can get their important identification documents in order are terribly far away from the village. The fact that most people living in the area are unemployed makes the situation direr, with one person saying:

"I have struggled to attain a birth certificate for my child. I spent a lot of money traveling and I have to ask for a day off work.”

The family of gogo Malesela Mashilo is very happy for her to receive the ID, with her sister-in-law saying:

"We are happy for gogo. It is an honour that the minister visited. We pray that gogo lives even longer.”

The minister says that mobile offices will be implemented to deliver speedier services to the remote village. At the same event, another gogo got her ID, and she is 99 years old. If fortune looks down on her favourably, she would also be a centenarian.
